Robin Roberts Autograph Collection – Official Ball, Hat, Photos, Checks, Etc.
Lot 173. Robin Roberts Autograph Collection – Official Ball, Hat, Photos, Checks, Etc. The autographs are gem mint 10s and mint 9s unless otherwise noted. In the 1950s, Roberts won 199 games, including a career-high 28 in 1952. During the decade, only Warren Spahn posted more wins. His career 286 wins earned him a place in the Hall of Fame in 1986. One of the key items in this collection is an ONL Coleman ball that Roberts signed on the sweet spot and added “HOF 76” below. On the north and south panels, he then added career highlights and statistics, including “1952-Sporting News M.V.P.” and “Whiz Kids 1950 N.L. Champs.” The signature and additions are 10s. Roberts also signed the bill of a Phillies size 7 3/8 New Era wool cap with an Authentic Diamond Collection label. Bold 10 autograph with “HOF 76” added. Four Roberts signatures are one photos, two 11” x 14” and two 8” x 10”. He and Warren Spahn both signed one of the larger photos, which pictures them as the top game winners of the 1950s. In one of the smaller photos, Roberts is pictured after winning his 200th game, and he added “200th Win” above his signature. One of the more unusual signed items is the Dell 1953 Major League Baseball Facts and Figures guide with Roberts on the cover. Outstanding signature. There are five signatures on four checks from the 1970s. Cancellation stamps slightly affect two signatures. Twelve Roberts signatures plus Warren Spahn. Authenticated by Kevin Keating.
Winning Bid $100.
